When a conflict arose between the Korea Racing Authority and Gyeongbuk Province, the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs demanded preconditions from related agencies for the approval of the racecourse construction, with the main ones being the signing of an additional agreement between the Korea Racing Authority and local governments and the adoption of a resolution by the Gyeongbuk Provincial Assembly.The recently signed additional agreement between the Korea Racing Authority and Gyeongbuk Province contains specific provisions guaranteeing the reduction of the leisure tax, and is known to include compensation for losses in the event of non-compliance, compensation for losses caused by non-compliance, compensation for facility investments if the project is withdrawn due to non-compliance, and the pursuit of a joint solution for personnel and horses upon project withdrawal.

However, as the effect of sales growth remained inconclusive despite the Korea Racing Authority's efforts, they ended up expanding the number of broadcast races to compensate for the revenue shortfall of Jeju Race Park.The decline in the horse racing industry's revenue has been striking; since the Gambling Industry Committee set the total revenue cap, the industry has failed to meet it for three consecutive years. In particular, sales growth has been steadily slowing to 3.97% in 2010 and 2.76% in 2011, and concerns are growing that this year could not only see a further slowdown but even a potential decline.

People think that horseback riding is expensive. Many people around me want to ride horses, but they hesitate because they think it costs a lot of money. Also, because of the prejudice that 'horses are dirty,' most riding centers are located outside the area, making transportation inconvenient. Since these issues are beyond my control, I hope people's perceptions of horses change and that they become more popular as soon as possible.With the mindset of 'Let's pass after working like crazy for just one year,'

For these reasons, I also did well on the practical exam.I cannot choose the most memorable horse. This is good, and that is good. Learn this from this person, that from the other, and there is much to learn from everyone, and many good memories. Looking back at the time of graduation, I realize I couldn't have chosen just one.Although it's currently vacation, I go to school and ride a horse whenever I can. I’ve earned the certification, but I’m not yet skilled enough to tell someone.First, I plan to get a job at a regular riding stable and improve my skills.

Since I was riding alone in a comfortable position, my posture became stiff. It was hard because it took me a long time to fix my stiff posture.Three weeks before the first practical exam for my certification, I injured the ligament in my big toe. I was told by the doctor to take a five-week break. With the exam just around the corner, I lost my composure and felt anxious and restless. After spending three weeks just going between home and the hospital The day before the exam, I went to school and practiced just once with my classmates.

My peers are improving, but I came from horseback riding in high school,so I have my own unique stance.I changed my horse-riding posture and thought again if this was right, but since my classmates were learning in a more attractive posture for the first time, I could see their skills improving,while mine felt stagnant.This was the hardest part.At Korea Horse High School,there are so many students that they attend classes in groups. I'm the type of person who needs someone to guide me to improve in one-on-one situations.

Rehabilitation horseback riding was an area I was interested in when I enrolled. Students come to the school for therapeutic riding lessons every Wednesday, and I applied to be a volunteer at the beginning of the semester to assist them, gaining a lot of experience. I prepared for the second-stage demonstration test of the therapeutic riding course in the second semester of my first year. At that time, Professor Park Geum-ran and Instructor Song Yeon-hee kindly explained and demonstrated, helping me a great deal so that I could conduct the training myself.

Professor Kwon Seung-joo, who works as a trainer at LetsRun Park Pukyong, gave a class.Since I learned practical skills in my first year, I didn't feel burdened by the fact that the two certifications were different. I learned general horseback riding and racehorse riding in advance at school, which made preparing for the certification easier. Since the Level 2 Recreational Sports Instructor exam included an obstacle course, I stayed late, either early in the morning or late at night, to practice with Professor Chu Hoo-geun before the test.

After failing the rehabilitation riding instructor exam, I decided, 'I'll work myself to the bone for just one year to pass,' and rode horses no matter how annoying, cold, or unpleasant the day was. It was really hard, but they helped me a lot. Professor Chu Ho-geun,Professor Park Geum-ran, the instructors, and my classmates guided me along the way. Whenever a slump hits and things get tough or you don't feel like doing anything, stand by your side and say,You can do it.' I think I was able to obtain the certification because they told me, 'You can do it.'There is a training course at school.

Horseback riding was fun, and it wasn't difficult.I liked sports, so I wanted to go to a physical education college to become a PE teacher. I got injured on the day of the practical exam for the physical education college entrance, so I decided to retake the exam. While retaking the exam, my father advised me again,Since you learned horseback riding in high school, try riding again even on the weekends.Once I started horseback riding again, I found it so much fun and rediscovered an interest I had lost. I decided to return to the horse industry and

Crop disaster insurance will be introduced by setting a cap on premium rates to reduce disparities between cities and counties and by strengthening coverage to the level of industrial accident insurance. We will reduce frequent drought and flooding damage through water system connectivity projects and drainage improvements, and strengthen the seismic resistance of aging water facilities to prepare for earthquakes. We will respond actively to the ongoing Korea-U.S. FTA revision talks, as the government's position is that additional opening in the agricultural sector is not possible.

By implementing the 'Support Project for Non-Rice Crop Cultivation,' we will reduce the rice cultivation area by 50,000 hectares this year. We will focus on forage and regionally specialized crops to minimize the impact on the supply of substitute crops.

When the pesticide egg scandal occurred, all shipments from the affected farms were banned immediately upon detection, and a full inspection was conducted to dispose of all non-compliant eggs. Along with this, we have promoted institutional improvements to prevent recurrence. After a fundamental review of the issues raised regarding the detection of pesticides in eggs,

First, viewing rice price stabilization as the first step toward restoring trust in agricultural policy, we have finalized an early harvest period measure to isolate a record-high volume of 720,000 tons from the market through close communication with farmers’ organizations and relevant ministries. As a result, rice prices, which had remained at levels seen 20 years ago, surpassed 150,000 won immediately after the announcement of the measures and have continued to rise since.

Despite various challenging conditions last year, the Quarantine Agency achieved outstanding results based on the expertise and know-how it had accumulated. A prime example is the achievement of advancing the development of the original technology for the foot-and-mouth disease vaccine by one year, laying the foundation for 'vaccine sovereignty' in that area. In addition, by developing the world’s first serological seronegative diagnostic kit for the three types of foot-and-mouth disease and applying it in the field, we contributed to the early eradication of foot-and-mouth disease.
